Billboard and Windmill


This is my Instagram photo of an early evening sky with a tall billboard and a windmill on Setiabudhi Street in the north of Bandung.

This post is my participation in the Skywatch Friday meme. The regular post will follow later.

If you are a follower or a regular visitor of this blog, you will know that the windmill is of course not a real one. It's a store-front deco of a popular bakery here. I posted about it a few years ago here.

Road Side Tire Patch-er



A road-side tire patcher at work on Dr. Setiabudi Street in the north of Bandung.

There are many tire patchers like this on the road side of Bandung. They are a convenience for motorists who have a flat tire and need their tire repaired or those who just need to add air pressure to their tires.

There is no word 'patcher' in English dictionaries that I know of. That's probably because there is no trade of this kind in their world. I made up the word from the verb 'patch' to name a person whose job is to patch tires. The Indonesian word for it is 'tukang tambal ban'.
